Back in 1950, the Breyer® Molding Company, based in Chicago, IL was busy
making a wide variety of plastic parts for other companies and the US
government. The parts were used in products like airplanes, TVs, radios
and swing clocks, just to name a few. One of their clients,
MasterCrafter Clock Company, asked them to mold a plastic horse to
decorate a mantel clock. The result was Number 57, The Western Horse,
Breyer's first model horse. After the models were produced for the
clock, MasterCrafter gave the metal mold to Breyer in lieu of payment.
As toy and horse collectors across the country learned of the horse's
remarkable authenticity, demand grew for other models representing other
breeds. And the rest, as they say, is history. In response, Breyer
began to produce and market the standing horse model, #57 – Western
Horse. In time, the creation and manufacturing of authentic and
realistic plastic model animals – especially horses - formed the core of
the Breyer business.
In 1984, Reeves International, Inc., a privately held distributor of
fine European toys and collectibles, acquired Breyer and relocated the
factory to its home base in New Jersey. Reeves International’s strength
as a distributor and marketer to the specialty toy and gift markets,
combined with the quality and authenticity of the Breyer product,
created a formidable combination.
Today, Breyer dominates the model horse market in volume, sales,
distribution, innovation and quality. Working in a variety of sizes and
materials from plush to resin, Breyer creates unique varieties of model
horses for both play and collecting for horse lovers of all ages. Breyer
is known for making portrait models of famous horses (like Secretariat
and Black Beauty, for example) and each Breyer model is still crafted
and decorated by hand. In all, some 20 artisans work on each individual
model horse, creating a beautiful, hand-made model horse that is as
individual as the horse that inspired it.
